Developers break ground on Lifetime Fitness amid roundabout project timeline update

Westfield's Board of Public Works and Safety has taken significant steps towards enhancing local infrastructure with the approval of a new roundabout project at the intersection of Towne Road and 146th Street. During the meeting on May 28, 2025, city officials confirmed that construction is set to begin shortly, with the goal of completing the project by the end of the year.

The roundabout will facilitate access to a new Lifetime Fitness center, which is expected to break ground within weeks. The developer has already made substantial progress on site preparation, including grading and pond installation. City officials have coordinated traffic maintenance plans to ensure that access to the fitness center remains open throughout the construction process.

The roundabout will be built in two phases to minimize disruption. The first phase will focus on constructing the roundabout while maintaining access from the north. Once completed, the developers will be able to utilize the roundabout for their ongoing projects.

This infrastructure improvement is part of a broader effort to support economic development in the area, with city officials working closely with developers to ensure seamless integration of new projects. The roundabout is designed to enhance traffic flow and safety, benefiting both residents and businesses in Westfield.

The Board unanimously approved the motion to proceed with the roundabout project, marking a significant milestone in Westfield's ongoing development efforts. As construction progresses, residents can look forward to improved access and enhanced community amenities.
